I am from Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, OH. We are called Fuzzies. All the fraternities know us as Fuzzies and so do the sororities. They also call us AXiD's and Alpha Xi's. I have even heard our house referred to as "The Fuzzie House". Our Philanthropy is Fuzzie Football. I know some chapters look at it as offensive or embarassing or whatever but it's something that we were taught is OK and we should be proud. It's a nickname that is built into our name alPHA XI delta (emphasize the caps and you'll hear it). We also have a lot of sororities that begin with Alpha so it helps PNMs and new members distinguish and remember us! I say to each there own and we can all be happy!!! Also, we never really use the hand signal. We learned it last year after our exec went to a retreat but thats really it. I still think it's neat though!!
Xi love and fuzz love to all,
me
